Swiftly becoming a celebrity within the camps, Md Habibur Rahman is known for singing in traditional style, with key information and advice embedded within his songs. Recorded live in the camp, here are two examples of his songs, which can be downloaded for use in listener groups, information hubs or in face-to-face community engagement activities:

Agencies distributing Aquatabs should also download the Aquatabs information sheet (this is designed to guide community workers and volunteers in their conversations with communities; but is NOT intended for direct distribution to community members). It's available in English and Bangla.

These materials are part of an ongoing series of multimedia outputs being produced by BBC Media Action to enhance the range and quality of tools available to information hubs, listener groups and other community-facing information services within the Rohingya emergency response. The work is being delivered in partnership with Action Against Hunger and IOM; and is funded by Global Affairs Canada, the UK Department for International Development and the US government's bureau of population, refugees and migration.

The songs were composed and performed by Mohammad Habibur Rahman and were produced with the assistance of Action Against Hunger.

The Aquatabs stickers and the water purification flashcards were produced in association with UNICEF and the WASH sector.

The community water filter materials were produced in association with WHO.

The Aquatabs posters and Bangladesh Betar radio programmes were produced in association with UNICEF.
